JOY RIDE (2002)

EW's GRADE
B

Details Release Date: Mar 12, 2002; Movie Rated: R; Genres: Horror, Mystery and Thriller; With: Leelee Sobieski, Paul Walker and Steve Zahn; Distributor: 20th Century Fox Film Corporation

It's all very funny until someone gets hurt. So might Mommy have said to brothers Lewis and Fuller Thomas (Walker and Zahn), who engage in some crank-yanking CB chatter during a cross-country drive and wind up stalked by a psychotic trucker. Cowritten by J.J. Abrams (Alias) and directed by the deft John Dahl (The Last Seduction), Ride pays inventive tribute to white-line suspensers like Duel and The Hitcher. Then costar Leelee Sobieski shows up and manages to be outacted by Walker, Zahn, and their car.
